Incorporated works because it takes fundamental truths of modern, capitalist life and leads them to their natural conclusion.
This series is one set in a dystopian future but unlike many of its peers, its a very believable one, because its not far removed from life as it currently is, with society increasingly dominated by global corporations.
It takes the current problems caused by rampant, unfettered corporate capitalism and projects what they will look like as the 21st century steadily draws to a close. Massive global warming causes desertification, concentrating power in the hands of a small number of elite corporations and their scheming minions. Corporations own and control food and water supplies, medical care, determine social and economic status, creating overriding extremes of poverty and wealth.
The story line is not only very plausible but its backed by a classic tale of poor boy makes good not for lust for money but out of a nobler emotion, love.
The acting is excellent helped in no small part by terrific storytelling and narrative. There's so much to like here, any flaws that do exist are rendered inconsequential. A rare gem of a series in a television marketplace crammed full of mostly unremarkable series.
Nine out of ten from me.
